AUCKLAND

For Oscar's birthday he wanted to go on an aeroplane and decided the destination was to be Christchurch. Unbeknown to Oscar I had booked us flights to Auckland and we suprised him last Friday. At this point he thought we were off to Christchurch still until he read his ticket!
Oscar is aviation mad, particularly big planes so being at the airport seeing the planes close up was so exciting for him.
Getting on the plane and taking off was way more exciting though!
The weekend consisted of a fire alarm at 1.30 in the morning, going to hotel pool four times, visiting the zoo, Motat to see all the planes, and going up Sky Tower. .and a trip to Smiggle!
The highlight for me was seeing Oscar having so much fun in the pool. It's a rather extravagant birthday present but for us it was more than that. Providing Oscar with lots of fun opportunities to try and make up for lost years is so important for us. The smile on his face was worth every cent.

He came back exhausted and ended up having Monday off and Tuesday because he had vomiting and diarrhea. My guess it was something he had eaten as his symptoms were consistent with all the other times of him being unwell through something he's eaten. Then to top it off another round of Impetigo. This time I used Manuka Paint and it's done a great job of healing it. Not sure why I didn't think to use that previous times!

Looking forward to lots more fun adventures with all of our wee men.
